Got to be the Nike one with him riding in the dark, through tunnels, down side streets, out in the country with the buffalos, with the background music and the little kid riding behind him at the end. Coolest one I've seen, this probably makes young kids think that cycling is cool. The others over the years just seem to be mostly sound and visual bits here and there.
On another note, anybody remember Samuel Dumoulin crash? Note the cameramen stalking their prey? I suppose they thought they had a Graham Watson photo in the making where a lone rider sits in the middle of the road, dirty, maybe bloodied and in pain. It seems like they just couldn't get enough. Ever when he went back to his bike they were still hounding him. I guess they were in the right place at the right time but Sammy seem to be milking the attention when he got back on his bike. Chance to get some press in Euro papers, maybe.

The Lance Chronicles is the best one. I'd love to learn that OLN struck a deal to do The Ullrich Chronicles. I'd be neat to compare these two incredible athletes this way, through their personalities, training and what not.
I think all of them suck. For some reason, idiots in Madison Ave have decided a bicycle isn't good enough, so they've tried to make it into a motorcycle. They have no idea what makes cycling so magical. I've never ever seen a cyclist try to race someone on motorcycle. Also they've missed it on Lance. They're trying to make him into a circus freak, doing everything but what he knows how to do. But I've seen this done to famous football players, golfers, etc.

I couldn't believe what they were doing as well, especially the fact that there were so many of them in his face. They were like a bunch of vultures.

It's nice to see the Post Office getting in on the game. I don't remember any comercials in the past featuring the team. This one's not too bad, just a day late...

The point of the commercial kinda went over your head like a high breeze, didn't it? I'm not sure if we are supposed to believe that one brand of bottled water is any better than another or any more appropriate for a competitive person like a Lance Armstrong, but if Dasani wants to put its money into supporting a bike racer, I'm all for it.
